HOW TO: Make Your School Papers Longer Without Messing With Margins

Everyone hates to sit down and crank out a 15 page paper on a subject they can only write 10 pages about. You could change the font size from 12pt to 13pt, but thats mad obvious. You can play with the margins a bit and bring em in just a tidge, but thats a freaken bulls eye. Here i have for you the secret that has got me through many many college papers. It has a the ability to change a 10 pager into a 15, without being detected by the human eye. Ready? here we go.



(this works with microsoft word, i don't know about macs)

After you have written all you can, go to file and select all, or just highlight the entire text. If your using an older version, go to file, and then find. If your using 07 or newer, on the home tab go over to the right and click find. Go to the replace tab and place a period in the find what box, yes the things after your sentences. In the replace box place another period but highlight this one. Hit the button "more" at the bottom of the find tab, hit format, and the font. Choose font size 14pt and hit ok. Hit the button "replace all" and your done all periods in your paper go from 12pt to 14pt and are undetectable. If you have a few hundred periods in your paper, it will add an average of 3-4 pages. Trust me this works try it your self, take a paper you have written and see what it adds. It can help you out when you need that extra time for beer and woman.

Hmmm ....

Sound interesting :) Actually, I knew about making the paper longer, I mean, the page break - Chtr+Enter, this will allow you to make the page exactly 250-275-300 words on it. I use this tecnique. However, it seems that 14pt spaces would be detected by the teacher... but.. who knows?

Cheers,

Nah a teacher won't notice a 14 point period; the difference is so small you will probably have a hard time telling.

I suggest doing this with all the punctuation in your paper.
